*Outside of a swimming pool, that is.
I'm Judy, a writer, age 42 -- the oldest one here?, 5'8', no husband, no kids, only a new puppy -- a skinny 80-lb rescue dog, a two-time strike-out with ISSUES. It's rough (ruff) at times, but she's already stolen my heart.
Diving seduced me at age 15. Certified NAUI OW at 19, PADI OW at 38, currently a (non-teaching) PADI AI. Strictly a warm water diver. I've done the cold stuff and don't like it. There are too many other ways to torture myself.
A dive trip may be on the horizon -- perhaps a liveaboard to the Turks and Caicos? -- since my life ss calming down after 10 difficult months. (My father died, as well as my beloved 14- and 13-year-old dogs.)
Dreaming, dreaming of compressed air and the ocean. Sometimes I wake up in the night, my mouth is dry and I can taste salt water.....Hmmm, anyone got the number of the Aggressor Fleet's reservations desk?
